How To Make Folders
No artist ever wants to lose track of their prized creations! And with Drawing Desk you can keep all of your artwork safe and organized on the ‘My Artworks” section of our app. Here, you’ll be able to organize and customize folders for storing your artwork methodically.
Getting Started…
To open the ‘My Artworks’ section, click on the 4-square icon at the top right corner of the Drawing Desk homepage.
You will first see the Device tab layout, with five default folders for each ‘Desk’ on the app. Any artwork you create on the app will be saved in these folders according to the Desk you use.
But your experience with folders doesn’t stop there. There’s more you can do to keep your Drawing Desk art collection personalized and organized...

You can then move any saved artwork into these additional folders you’ve created.

Syncing with iCloud
You can now sync all your folders and their saved content with the iCloud. This way you need not worry about losing your artwork and all the hard work you’ve put in. Any folders that you delete from the Device tab in ‘My Artworks’ can be retrieved if they are saved on the iCloud.

Using the Drawing Desk Cloud
You can also access your work through the Drawing Desk cloud so that you’ll always have your best work with you.
Even if you don’t have your device with you, you can still access your art created with Sketch Desk, Doodle Desk, Photo Desk or Kids Desk. All you need is another device of the same model that you used when creating art on Drawing Desk.
You can then use it to access your saved work on the Drawing Desk cloud.
With all of these options available, you can keep your art organized and safe with us at Drawing Desk!
